Castellammare di Stabia & Naples

Hi folks my next update. Yesterday we arrived in La Medusa Hotel in Castellammare and to say it is  stunning is an understatement. Arthur casually mentioned in his email to them that we have been travelling in celebration of my recent birthday so they upgraded us to an apartment. It has a lounge and the bedroom Is massive, we have two televisions. They also left two little cakes for us. The garden is beautiful and goes on and on. There is a wedding on tomorrow I cannot wait to see it set up. The downside to the hotel is that it is very out the way, but there is a courtesy bus down to the rail station and the town.

Today we got the train to Naples OMG what a nightmare you are packed in like sardines, no chance of a seat. It was a good day and we took in a lot of sights, the one above is the Piazza Plebiscito, regarded as the main square in Naples. Arthur is eating a pizza in a restaurant called Brandi which is famous for being the originator of  a Margherita pizza so called because apparently many years ago they made three dishes for the queen and that pizza was the favourite, so the story goes. The pizza was delicious. Naples is a strange place there is some stunning architecture and some disgusting squalor it is horrible and the graffiti is everywhere. I'm glad I went, don't know that I would return. Tomorrow the Amalfi coast. I'll let you know how that goes. Feel free to give me your comments.
